KING- KHYBES RIFLES Romance crfch&nfure j&y Talbot Mundy

MM Sr Tn :

Then, perhaps because the crowd had begun to whisper, and she wanted all attention, she raised both arms to 'toss back the golden hair that came cascading nearly to her knees. And as if the crowd knew that symptom well. It drew its breath in sharply and. grew very still.. "Muhammad Anim!" she . said," and she might have been wooing him. ;That was a devil's trick!" s It was rather an astounding statement, coming from lovely lips in such a setting. It was rather suggestive of

a driver's whiplash, flicked tnrougn

the air for a beginning. Muhammad Anim continued glaring and did not answer her, so in her own good time,

when she had tossed her golden nair back once or twice again, she developed her meaning. "We who are free of Khinjan Caves do not send men out to bring recruits. We know better than to bid our men tell lies for others at the gate. Nor, seeking proof for our new recruit, do we send men to hunt a head for him not even those of us who have a lashkar that we call our own, mullah Muhammad Anim! Each of us earns his own way in!" The mullah Muhammad Anim began to stroke his beard, but he made no answer. "And mullah Muhammad Anim, thou wandering man of Ood when that lashkar has foolishly been sent and has failed, is it written in the Kalamullah saying we should pretend there was a head, and that the head was stolen? A lie is a lie, Muhammad Anim. Wandering perhaps is good, if in search of the way. Is it good to lose the way, and to lie, thou true follower of the Prophet?" She smiled, tossing" her hair back. Her eyes challenged, her lips mocked him and her chin scorned. The crowd breathed hard and watched. The mullah muttered something in his beard, and sat down, and the crowd began to roar applause at her. But she checked it with a regal gesture, and a glance of contempt at the mullah

that was alone worth a Journey across the Hills to see. "Guards!" she said quietly. , And the crowd's sigh then was , like the night wind in a forest. "Away with those three of Muhammad Anim's men!" Twelve of the arena guards threw down their shields with a sudden . clatter and seized the prisoners, four to each. The crowd shivered with delicious anticipation. The doomed men neither struggled nor . cried, for fatalism is an anodyne as well as an explosive. King set his teeth. Yasminl, with both hands behind her head, continued to smile down on them all as sweetly as the stars shine on a battle-field. She nodded once ; and then all was over in a minute. With a ringing "Ho!" and a run, the guards lifted their victims shoulder high and. bore them forward. At the, river bank they paused for a second to swing them. Then, with another "Ho!" they threw them like dead rubbish into the swift black water. There was only one wild scream that went echoing and re-echoing . to the roof. There was scarcely a splash and no ripple at all. No heads came up again to gasp. No .fingers clutched at the surface. The fearful speed of the river sucked them under, to grind and churn and pound them through long caverns underground and hurl them at last over the great cataract toward the middle of the world. "Ah-h-h-h-h!" sighed the crowd In ecstasy. 'Ts there no other strangerr asked Yasmini, searching for King again with her amazing eyes. The skin all down his back turned there and then into gooseflesh. And as her eyes met his she laughed like a bell at him. She knew! She knew who he was, how he had entered, and, how he felt. Not a doubt of it! CHAPTER XT "Kurram Khan!" the lashless mullah howled, like a lone wolf in the moonlight, and King stood up. It is one of the laws of Cocker, who wrote the S. S. Code, that a man is

alive until he Is proved dead, and

where there Is life there is opportunity.

In that grim minute King felt heretical; but a man's feelings are bis own affair provided he can prove it, and he managed to seem about as much at ease as native hakml ought to feel at such an intiation. . "Come forward!" the mullah howled, and he obeyed, treading gingerly between men who were at no pains to let him by, and silenUy blessing them because he was not really in any hurry at all. Yasminl looked lovely from a distance, and life was sweet. "Who are his witnesses?" "Witnesses?" the roof hissed. "I!" shouted Ismail,' jumping up. "I!" cracked the roof. "I! I!" So that for a second King almost believed he had a crowd of men, to swear for him and did not hear Darya Khan at all, who rose from a place not very far behind where he had sat. Ismail followed in a" hurry, like a man wading a river with loose clothes gathered in one arm and the other arm ready in case of falling. He took much less trouble than King not to tread on people, and oaths marked his wake. To be continued

In the early nineties the peak of exports was reached, and the trade had declined since then until 1914, when the war broke out, A total of $34,000,000 was exported in 1916, to $3,200,000 in 1913.
